The
Tour
Nick Zentor * One The young man died, and his spirit exited his body, but could not escape the place with the dead body in it. The spirit sought a way to escape, but found none. Eventually, the spiritual guardians took notice and investigated. “The body is not dead,” one of them said, “that is why the spirit cannot leave this place.” “Why is the body not dead?” another said. Shortly, another examined it, and checked a book. “It is not time,” it said. “This is not the proper time for it to die. Something is wrong.” They looked at the spirit, and the spirit became defensive. “I don’t know what’s wrong,” it said. “I was happy to leave it, but now what do I do?” After a thorough study of the situation, 2 spiritual guardians stepped forward and one said, “We can find no physical or spiritual explanation for this disembodiment except one. Our mentors have suggested a ‘tour’ for the spirit. If the body still lives, after the tour, it may be open for reincarnation. Do you accept the tour, spirit?” The spirit looked at the walls around it, and nodded affirmation. The lead guardian opened a door in a wall, and led the spirit out. The other guardians followed, and they went on tour in the spiritual realm. The ‘spiritual realm’ was light and easy, for the most part, with lots of colors and a daylight overtone with a mysterious background. There were large honey-combed like structures, with various sized windows and valve-ways, tall spires in the bright indigo-violet sky, promenades and gardens. There were also brightly colored bubbles floating about, varying in shades from light pink to light violet, at times almost translucent in the bright lights of the day. They floated as if with their own conscious direction, amongst trees that captured them and with winds that let them go free. They led the young spirit along the promenade, passed through an underpass, to the most amazing waterway and canal-zone his eyes had ever seen. The promenade turned into a narrow bottleneck along the tight edge of the canal, into a slim highway strip, with a huge structure overlooking it built into the stone of a mountain. “This is where care must be taken,” one of the spirits said. “The high synergy flows hot along the edge, between the Za and the Ve, to the Ku. Stay on the side walk; we’re not fit for a high-speed ride.” “Let’s check out one of the shops,” one of them suggested. “Maybe get ourselves some nectarine.” “Good idea,” another said. “The spiritual tour would be incomplete without the good ole nectarine.” They all seemed mildly amused by this admission, and found an open shop with the cold-storage juices they wanted, received at a wall-vendor without need for cash pay- ment or exchange. Apparently, such things were free in the spiritual realm. It got hot on the narrow strip, especially when on podal-extensor. “Watch out for the gummies,” another warned them, and laughed, like a kid in the candy store. They each received a ‘nectarine’, which was a round, orange fruit with a soft shell and nectar-juices inside. It reminded the young spirit of one of the best peaches he’d ever had, crossed with a cold orange crush soda on a hot summer day at the beach They flexed their pods and enjoyed the nectarines as they returned to the sidewalk and continued on in what the young spirit thought of as a ‘southern’ direction, although he couldn’t be certain the spiritual realm had physical laws with concepts such as north, south, east, or west. Regardless of this, he was perfectly content to take the ‘tour with these spirits, knowing that he could learn more, with time, about it all. They took him to the area known as the ‘Ve’, which was a fantastic maze of parkways, promenades, gardens, and structures, which stretched for many kilometers before reaching something like a vast, rural territory known as the Ku. The tour would not take them to the ‘Ku’ because he was too young in spirit and it was his very first tour in the spiritual-realm. * I wrote this under the pseudonym Konwell Zintree.
